MUSHROOM TARTS

Category: Quiche and Savory Tarts / Tartlettes

Pastry:
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, diced
1/2 cup cream cheese, diced

Filling:
1 tbsp butter
8 oz fresh mushrooms, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

In a food processor, mix together all the ingredients for the pastry. Form into a ball, wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet, saute mushrooms and garlic in butter until soft and most of the liquid is evaporated. Add cream, lemon juice, green onion and parsley. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Season to taste.

Remove pastry from fridge. It will be a little to soft for rolling, so break off 1 inch balls, flatten them with the palm of your hand, and press them into the tart tins. Fill each pastry shell with mushroom mixture and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until golden brown. Makes 12 mini tarts
